BEAT cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Add sour cream; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Remove 3-1/2 cups batter; place in medium bowl. Dissolve remaining coffee granules in remaining hot water. Stir into removed batter; spread over wafers in pan. Top with remaining wafers; brush with remaining dissolved coffee. Cover with remaining plain batter.

BAKE 45 min. or until center is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 3 hours. Use foil handles to lift cheesecake from pan. Spread with COOL WHIP just before serving; sprinkle with cocoa powder.

Heat oven to 325°F if using a silver 9-inch springform pan (or to 300°F if using a dark nonstick 9-inch springform pan). Assemble cheesecake as directed. Bake 1 hour or until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim. Refrigerate 4 hours. Continue as directed.

I LOVE IT!!!!! Everytime I make it, it is FABULOUS. I prepare them sometimes in my pampered chef 1cup prep bowls (Makes 6) and still do the aluminum foil when they are set I flip them over and frost with cool whip, and sprinkle with some finely grated chocoltae and It looks beautiful.And the igloo shape is perfect for the holidays.This recipe is a perfect combo of coffee and cheescake. Thanks KRAFT for putting a smile on my families face for the holiday season.

This is an incredible receipe. I used no fat cream cheese and no one noticed the change but it was just a pinch better on calories and fat count. Definitely a five star rating.

This was easy to make yet looked like an expensive dessert. The friends who tasted it all loved it!

This was so good! I made it with my children and they 'painted' the cookies with the coffee. I was impressed with how easy it was to make and how good it tasted. I didn't put 4 eggs in - I thought I only needed 1 and it tasted very good!

This is such a wonderful dessert. I have made it several times and the last time I made individual servings with cupcake holders so you can freeze them and have it whenever you want(just add the cool whip)
